Re: Project "River Truck" - CCLB 4x4

Arrover, looks like you had the h2 rims on your truck that was stock height? How did they fit and drive? Do you know or remember the tire size? Thanks

Re: Project "River Truck" - CCLB 4x4

Yes I did have the H2s on the truck at stock height. I think the stock suspension was even a little sagged. The tires were the same 285/70-17 Hankook MTs that are on it now. They actually fit pretty well. I think there was a little bit of rubbing at full lock but I don't remember it being very bad. The tires are about half worn and they did get close to the fender trim if I remember correctly. My fenders are not trimmed at all and I never four wheeled the truck. I do like the wheels though. You will need conversion lug nuts though. They aren't hard to find on the internet.

Thanks man. Are the conversion lug nuts just so one can use the center caps? Or will I need them no matter what?

You will need them no matter what you do for center caps. This video will explain more about the conversion lug nuts: http://youtu.be/C6dlwm5IUcw . The conversation about the lug nuts starts at about 2:50.
